I wanted a taste of the stronger tribal cards that are usually harder to pull off due to lack of creatures of that type(especially in commander) like Gilt-Leaf Archdruid and Reaper King, and hilarious combos like Khorvath Brightflame + Sylvia Brightspear cause (haha) thier both. As this deck has evolved I have personally gone with a reanimator and storm sub theme but this deck has almost limitless variations one could do. Questions comments and +1s are welcome as always.

Deck strategies and specifics

UNITY OF THE TRIBES! Show

This deck functions not as one tribe or another but instead there are tribal Chiefs so to speak that the shapeshifters rally around for strength they are,

Atla Palani, Nest Tender - the 'egg' tribe though strange, very powerful since everytime a shapeshifter dies you just get to throw another one right down on the battlefield for free, or even another tribal general!

Sliver Hivelord/Timber Protector/Knight Exemplar/Sylvia Brightspear/Khorvath Brightflame- some of these generals give us +1/+1's which is fantastic, but more importantly they all bring many great key words we need, indestuctable, deathtouch, haste, doublestrike... music to anyone's ears...except your opponents of course.

Reaper King/Harmonic Sliver/Qasali Slingers- these are our removal generals causing all your shape shifters to blow up key pieces of your foes board as you build yours up.

Captivating Vampire/Gilt-Leaf Archdruid - now blowing up your enemies board is ruthless...taking their board and using it to crush them that's something else entirely.

DEATH OF THE TRIBES! Show

As you have seen there are many strong synergies happening in this deck and you'd be foolish to assume any player worth their salt will just let you waltz right into an easy victory, no infact when you take one thing you might lose two others or after a game threatening swing they might just wipe the board, throw an Apocalypse just to spite your upper hand (I know I would lol) so here is our recurgence package to help mitigate what we can

Myr Reservoir- someone killed all your Myr? No Myr? Bring em back anyways they look close enough

Unholy Grotto- well they're zombies now that they've been reanimated...

Knights' Charge -slap some armor on those changelings and who could tell the difference? not me no sir.

Swarmyard - twelve foot tall, undying Spider-Squirrels, why? Because we could damn it!

THE TRIBAL STORM! Show

The ability to storm with this deck comes from two places first morophon's casting ability allows us to do some interesting things then the shapeshifting tribes allow us further access to odd combos and synergies that are stronger than they should be.

Descendants' Path/Call to the Kindred/Rooftop Storm - these represent our tribal storm ability, with these you can start throwing creatures onto the field for free and with the high creature count this can get out of hand quickly.

Fist of Suns/Jodah, Archmage Eternal - and this represents our commander based storming as you can see these alter cost, oh and what a coincidence it alters it to the exact cost that morophon can reduce your creature casting by allowing you to put down as many as you can draw.
